Well, luckily, I have just about everything published for Rolemaster now. The only thing I'm missing are the original 2e Rolemaster Companions. It's just the missed opportunities to play with such a robust system when it was easier to get players to learn new systems...
When I was putting together a HARP game a couple of years ago, I mentioned that it was based on Rolemaster and one of my players said "Cecil, don't take this the wrong way, but you're the only person I know that I can picture playing Rolemaster." Damned near broke my heart.
I never really played RM, but I did play a few games of MERP. I thought it was a really good system that captured the feel of Middle Earth. RM probably gets as much bad press as Hero does. People say that it's too difficult and you need to know algebra in order to play it. Once I've taken players through character creation and a game session they come out saying that Hero isn't that difficult to learn and play.
